Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method for mitigating a Doppler spread in a wireless access system supporting a high frequency band, the method comprising: receiving, by a reception end, a downlink signal to which a beamforming scheme is applied from a transmission end; estimating a Doppler spectrum of the received downlink signal by the reception end; calculating a carrier shift value based on the estimated Doppler spectrum by the reception end; and feeding back the carrier shift value to the transmission end according to a time period related to a beam pattern change, wherein the carrier shift value is calculated to be an average value of a part of the Doppler spectrum larger than a predetermined threshold.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the Doppler spectrum S x (f) is estimated to be ℑ{R xx (τ)}, where R xx (τ) represents an auto-correlation function of the downlink signal and ℑ{ } represents Fourier Transform.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier shift value is calculated by the following equation, a = 1 f max - f min ∫ - f d + f d S x ( f ) ⅆ f S x - 1 ( a ) = k , f min = min ( f ) when S x ( f ) > threshold f max = max ( f ) when S x ( f ) > threshold . [ Equation ]
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier shift value is calculated by the following equation, k = f max - f min 2 , f min = min ( f ) when S x ( f ) > threshold f max = max ( f ) when S x ( f ) > threshold . [ Equation ]
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined threshold is a constant fixed value in the system, is determined based on a maximum value of the Doppler spectrum, or is received by higher-layer signaling.
6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: receiving a downlink signal corrected based on the carrier shift value from the transmission end by the reception end.
7. A reception end for mitigating a Doppler spread in a wireless access system supporting a high frequency band, the reception end comprising: a transmitter; a receiver; and a processor configured to mitigate the Doppler spread, wherein the processor is configured to control the receiver to receive a downlink signal to which a beamforming scheme is applied from a transmission end, estimate a Doppler spectrum of the received downlink signal, calculate a carrier shift value based on the estimated Doppler spectrum, and control the transmitter to feeds back the carrier shift value by controlling the transmitter to a transmission end according to a time period related to a beam pattern change, wherein the carrier shift value is calculated to be an average value of a part of the Doppler spectrum larger than a predetermined threshold.
8. The reception end according to claim 7 , wherein the Doppler spectrum S x (f) is estimated to be ℑ{R xx (τ)} where R xx (τ) represents an auto-correlation function of the downlink signal and ℑ{ } represents Fourier Transform.
9. The reception end according to claim 7 , wherein the carrier shift value is calculated by the following equation, a = 1 f max - f min ∫ - f d + f d S x ( f ) ⅆ f S x - 1 ( a ) = k , f min = min ( f ) when S x ( f ) > threshold f max = max ( f ) when S x ( f ) > threshold . [ Equation ]
10. The reception end according to claim 7 , wherein the carrier shift value is calculated by the following equation, k = f max - f min 2 , f min = min ( f ) when S x ( f ) > threshold f max = max ( f ) when S x ( f ) > threshold . [ Equation ]
11. The reception end according to claim 7 , wherein the predetermined threshold is a constant fixed value in the system, is determined based on a maximum value of the Doppler spectrum, or is received by higher-layer signaling.
12. The reception end according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the receiver to receive a downlink signal corrected based on the carrier shift value from the transmission end.
